Million Dollar Bra by Jennifer Loy

Who the hell can afford the four million dollar bra that comes out of the Victoria’s Secret catalog holiday issue every year? Devin Warner, Brittany’s boss could and he did. But why? She gets kidnapped before she finds out.

Ryan Blake, the world’s worst kidnapper has just discovered his mistake could very well work out for him, but can he convince the beautiful Brittany to take off this elegant jeweled bra? No way! They will steal it back and forth and enjoy every minute of it. An unruly adventure that criss-crosses across the country with more wild twists and turns than a rollercoaster ride.

Feeling down? Things piling on top of you? Life throwing its favorite curve-balls at you? Don’t worry, you're not alone. Jennifer Loy has made sure of that. If you're not commiserating with her feckless cast of characters for whom nothing goes right you're probably crying with laughter when you read this book.

So you see, not only does Ms Loy give you company while you're enjoying your pity-party, she makes you laugh so much you forget all about it. Her writing is fluent and yet at times edgy which complements the scrapes every one of her characters get into. Yes, she has a hero and heroine, but all the other characters vie for your attention with equal tenacity.

Ryan Blake and Brittany Van Horn pitch from one disaster to another with gusto and determination that convinced this reader that such a hapless couple can hardly better ‘the bad’ guys. Not only do they achieve resounding success but the end of the story reveals some astonishing alliances.

Ms. Loy mixes her romance with generous servings of quirky humor, mystery and intrigue. If you are in need of a laugh then this is just the read to go for. It’s not a book I’ll forget in a hurry.

RATING EXPLANATION:

1 Star— At this time, we at LASR do not post these reviews. If the book was boring, badly edited, poorly written, had little or no plot, stilted dialogue, and/or unsympathetic characters, we will decline the review.

2 Stars— Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you'd re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library - not buy - and never check out again.

3 Stars— Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn't consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There's a chance you'll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn't go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars— Very Good. You're glad you were the one who got to review the book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars— Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

LASR Best Book - For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you're not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise - and reserved for only a few.
